The Nelson Gazette (Nelson, NE), Thursday, June 13, 1907
We regret to announce the death on Wednesday morning, of Mrs. Hannah Orner, at her home east of Nelson. Mrs. Orner who was widely known and much respected as an old resident of Nuckolls county (sic), has for some years past been in failing health, but no serious development took place until a comparatively short time ago when cancer of the liver became evident and she was pronounced to be beyond the aid of medical skill. The deepest sympathy is felt by the entire neighborhood for the bereaved family and friends. The funeral service was conducted by Rev. J.H. Stitt in the Methodist church on Thursday afternoon, and interment was made in the Nelson cemetery (sic).
Hannah H. DeTurk was born at Reading, Pa., November 2nd, 1838, and died at her residence east of Nelson, Nebraska, June 12th, 1907, aged 68 years, 7 months and 10 days. When she was about six months old her parents and family removed to Martinsville, Ind., where she lived until the time of her marriage on November 19th, 1861, to Benjamin E. Orner. To this union were born ten children, six girls and four boys, all of whom are living except one boy who died when three years old. Deceased leaves one brother and two sisters all older than herself. Her husband died at Martinsville, Ind. in 1888, and shortly afterwards she moved to Nelson, Nebraska, where she resided till the time of her death.
Intensely beloved by her children, she showed a wonderful patience in her long sickness and suffering. Her christian character endeared her to her family and at the end she spoke of her desire to be at rest. Her thought was for those who lovingly waited on her and she desired to spare them as much trouble as possible. How sad is the death of a mother, Who can tell how great a loss it is? The dearest friend we can have is the one whose tender care and unspeakable love guided our baby footsteps and watched with anxious solicitude our development to man's or woman's estate. Lovingly let us care for our mothers. Soon they will be gone from us and all that will be left will be the empty place that nothing on this wide earth can ever fill.
The blessing of her quiet life
Fell on us like the dew;
And good thoughts, where her footsteeps pressed
Like fairy blossoms grew.
There seems a shadow on the day,
Her smile no longer cheers;
A dimness on the stars of night,
Like eyes that look through tears.
Fold her, O Father, in thine arms,
And let her henceforth be
A messenger of love between
Our human hearts and Thee.
